Nicole, who covered the Rose Bowl, and Chris share five observations from the CFP semifinals in the Power 5 (2:00). One thought they agree on is that this was the best semifinal EVER. Plus, Harbaugh gets over the hump, and the SEC isn't represented in the natty. Nicole and Chris then ask and try to answer a few questions that they have about Michigan-Washington (28:00). Will Washington's offensive line stave off Michigan? Dillon Johnson is reportedly going to play despite being injured, but how does his health affect the Huskies' gameplan? Later, the two discuss the Pop Tarts Bowl in Happy Hour (40:00), fixing bowl games in On the Rocks (45:00), and shoutout the Rose Bowl in Last Call (1:02:00).
